:33:01
where our three heroes take over
these fabulous bits of kit that actually work.
:33:06
Inside this Firefly there is a driver hidden
:33:10
who's driving off of a video screen.
:33:13
There's a camera in the front of the Firefly
that can see where he's going
:33:19
and there's a guy lying on his stomach
at the controls
:33:23
watching a videoscreen, choreographing
his movements around the Thunderizer,
:33:28
which also has a driver hidden inside
behind where Alan's sitting.
:33:34
There's a great gag.
:33:37
6,000 gallons of dyed green foam
:33:43
that actually was projected from the Firefly.
:33:48
A great credit to Paul Corbould
and his special effects team
:33:52
as well as coordinated with Paul Jennings,
our stunt coordinator.
:33:57
To make that work, they rehearsed it
and rehearsed it, showed it to me on videotape
:34:03
and by the time we showed up on set,
they were good to go
:34:07
and it worked. I wish we had more of it.
:34:11
Little shades of John Hughes - Home Alone.
:34:14
Bad guys flopping around in foam.
Always good for a laugh.
:34:22
Notice the Thunderbird
in the background of that shot.
:34:25
All kinds of little references.
:34:31
Here we are in Thunderbird 1 silo.
:34:37
John Beard, again, was not only
a creative designer, but very, very practical.
:34:44
In this set, we weren't...
:34:47
Great shot. Hood magically appears
behind the door.
:34:51
Watch closely and you see the reflection
on both sides of this coverage.
:34:57
You can see The Hood in Alan's shot
and Alan in The Hood's shot.
